I’m twenty five
Haven’t done much with my life
Only got two years till it’s rockstar time to die
I really thought somehow
I’d be more famous by now
When I was young, they said I was unique
Like a fool that’s what I believed
Pictured myself as the next Beyonce
I believed, I believed that my face belonged on TV
Walk down the street
No one notices me
And I’ve never seen a paparazzi
I had a plan and it’s not going great
I have no fans and I’m not getting laid
I really thought somehow I’d be more famous by now

Date Me I'm Bored
02:45

Date me I’m bored
And we are both alone
Tinder says there’s no one new around you
I have nothing better to do (oooh)
So I obsess
over you
(Spend my time stalking you online)
Your pictures on the web
I know them far too well
My brain can’t focus only on myself
I need someone else
To give me attention and tell me I’m cool
I need a muse, I guess you will do
So I obsess
over you
(Spend my time stalking you online)
So I obsess
over you
(Spend my time stalking you online)

This might not be the best song in the world
But that doesn’t mean I’m a complete failure
My voice might not be as beautiful as hers
But that doesn’t make me an amateur
Feel like shit today
but tomorrow I’ll feel great
Flicker between megalomania
and severe self hate
You are talented I try to tell myself
Doesn’t matter that your music doesn’t sell
I’ll catch myself if I fall
It’s better to fail than not to try at all
You are talented I try to tell myself
Maybe one day dad will think so as well
I’ll catch myself if I fall
It’s better to fail than not to try at all
Only I expect perfection from myself
I’m not disappointing everybody else

Best Friend

All the nights out, all the nights in
All the chocolate and all the gin
Your my best friend, ooh, And I love you
All the trips to the pool, all the times we skipped school
All the secrets and gossip and dancing like fools
Your my best friend, ooh, And I love you
Lalalalala….
Girl, you’ve got style, so chic, so cool
And you’ve got the meanest sense of humour
Your my best friend, ooh, And I love you

Hide Your Crazy
02:27

You seem normal at first
but I know that something is wrong
So I search in your words
for reasons why you’ve ended up alone
Too few red flags
For a man your age
And I attract douchebags
So I know you must be strange
Me, I reveal
all my crazy on the first date
You hide yours safely
So I guess I’ll have to wait
have to wait
When I let down my guard
After several successful dates
Then the truth will hit me hard
But it will be too late
Too few red flags
For a man your age
And I attract douchebags
So I know you must be strange
Me, I reveal
all my crazy on the first date
You hide yours safely
Until it’s too late
It’s too late

Post articles on facebook about modern slavery
Criticize that corporations don’t pay decent salary
I know all about the small hands that sew my underwear
I am aware, I am aware, but that doesn’t mean I care
When I can be
FASHION! (for only 99 cents)
FASHION! (sashay, shante)
FASHION! (you wanna be on top?)
FASHION! (We are the goon squad and we're coming to town
Beep-beep Beep-beep)
A new dress a day keeps depression away
Can’t decide which shoes to buy, I’ll take them all baby
I need a new phone, I need silicon
someone, CALL THE BANK! I need a new loan!
Cause I’m gonna be
FASHION! (for only 99 cents)
FASHION! (sashay, shante)
FASHION! (you wanna be on top?)
FASHION! (We are the goon squad and we're coming to town
Beep-beep Beep-beep)
More! More! More! More! ...

Give in

Dedicated strive
to always be the best
wicked sense of humour
you know what that suggests
skin salty from sweat
I want to taste the tattoo
on your back
your focus so intense that I blush
I’m an animal
You’re an animal
Let’s give in to lust
Let’s give in to lust

Playing everynight In a new city
Never drunk but always tipsy
Watching teenage drama
and Aki Kaurismaki on the bus
and I’ve got a crush
Staying up late
Waking up late
Breakfast is beer
Dinner is cake x2
Making up games
that I always win
Crying in the lounge
Listening to Swims
Sunburned and smelly
hanging out in parking lots
Wrinkled clothes and private jokes
and feeling like I belong

Dark Matter
02:24

I can feel
jealousy
washing over me
like a wave
drowning my mind
sinking my brain
I can’t see
Clearly
it’s in my lungs now
I can’t breath
Creeps into my bones
and under my skin
Swimming in black
dark matter
has made an attack
Flooded my senses
All I know is the fact
that you were with her
I’m fighting the urge
To hurt you right back
I let go
Of control
Swim up to the surface
Try to stay calm
Rescue myself
From drowning in thoughts

Her Flowers

You’ve made me angrier than anyone else
You’ve made me doubt and question myself
You’ve made me cry and I’ve told you lies
We’ve fought a hundred thousand times
Still you are the most called number in my phone
You are the ground I build my world upon
You are the one I can always count on
I noticed the other day how your flowers always seem
to bloom more than other flowers
I realised then how much you care
though I’ve often found you cruel and unfair
You were always there
Like a rock rising up from the unstable ocean
Strong and steady, standing its ground
Weather the sea is calm or stormy
No waves, no wind could ever wear you down
The love of boys
It comes and goes
but that’s ok
cause your love stays x2
Forever and always
Forever and always
Forever and always
